F.A.Q
What is TaeKwonDo?
Taekwondo originated in Korea and combines techniques from various traditional Korean martial arts, with influences from karate and Chinese martial arts. The name "taekwondo" translates to "the way of the foot and fist".
Taekwondo focuses on a wide array of kicks, including high kicks, roundhouse kicks, and axe kicks, as well as punches and blocks.
Taekwondo practitioners learn specific sequences of movements called forms (Poomsae), which are used to develop precision, balance, and coordination.
Taekwondo sparring (Kyorugi) involves controlled fighting techniques, with points awarded for correctly executed techniques.
Taekwondo includes breaking (Gyokpa) techniques, where practitioners break boards or other objects with kicks and punches. Philosophical and
In addition to physical training, taekwondo emphasizes mental discipline, respect, integrity, and perseverance.
Taekwondo became an Olympic sport in 2000.
Why should I enroll my child in TaeKwonDo?
At TaeKwonDo Center for Excellence, we believe that core and character development is just as important as the development of the athlete.
How is TaeKwonDo Center for Excellence different from other schools?
Additionally, we strive to have very engaged families within our school, creating a robust community around each other and all of the students.
How can I get my student started?
For students that have never taken TaeKwonDo previously, we strongly recommend starting with the 4 p.m. classes, but the 5 p.m. classes can also be attended.
